‘This silly business of smiles and tears’
(Web Desk) - Kangana Ranaut recently took to her social media handle to pen a thought-provoking note, reflecting on the idea of stardom and the journey of making it through.
The actress also spoke about the concept of fandom and shared that quite often fans do feel as if a ‘small miracle’ has happened whenever they spot an actor in public.
Kangana took to her Instagram stories and wrote, “The myth of a cinema star is the sweetest lie ever, I wonder and wonder at this silly business of smiles and tears.”
“The best thing about being an actor is whenever people see you at the airport in the lounge, in the aircraft or even in a shop, restaurant, simply strolling around in the streets.
Their faces light up with a big unexpected smile as if a small miracle has happened, as if a good omen has bestowed upon them, as if the glamorous world of the celluloid has collided with their mundane life leaving a haze of stardust.”
She added, “They often smile with twinkling eyes, sometimes even cry at times, fumble with their words or shake with their attempts at selfies.
Suddenly you too feel the sparkle of your own presence through their eyes and wonder what exactly happening and what is the most appropriate way to be, it’s impossible to be in control of that which isn’t even there.”
